The unraveling of the American Republic is news of the century. Additionally, in terms of the implications of this leak for geopolitics and Internet business/security, this is easily the biggest and most important story in international affairs since 2001.

This whole situation is of extreme importance though, especially to the long term future of pretty much all technology companies.

I am actually extraordinarily happy that this has been all over HN and especially that there has been some amazing dialogue from HNers on this.
